Etiquette norms of speech

Speech and stage manners:

Usually, when the host introduces the speaker, the speaker should naturally stand up, nod to the host, and applaud or nod to the audience to show his gratitude. Don't sit still or just bend over. When you make a formal speech on the stage, you should walk on the platform with steady steps, full of confidence, full of energy and bow respectfully and sincerely to the audience. In addition to serious occasions, the speaker should smile and look around the audience with eyes to show patronage and greetings; You must stand firm before you can speak. At the beginning of the speech, the first sentence should be intimate, the tone at the beginning should not be too high, and the volume should be moderate, including consciously adjusting your volume throughout the speech. It is also important to have ups and downs, ups and downs, invariability and deadpan, especially the adjustment of eyes.

There are several specific aspects in the speech that need your attention:

First, the standing posture requirements in the speech:

First of all, stand up straight, don't hang your shoulders or back, and don't shake your legs or shake. Usually, women can use it in this situation? v? Font or? Ding? When standing, men can take a straddle posture or stand with their feet parallel. Of course, you can also take a posture with one foot slightly in front and one foot behind, and the center of gravity is mainly on the hind foot, that is, between attention and being at ease. In contrast, this method has more advantages. It can adjust the feet and reduce fatigue. Long speakers generally adopt this standing posture.

Second, put your hands on the podium:

A, hands naturally droop, on both sides of the body; B, put your hands together on your abdomen; C, clench fist with one hand and a half, or hang down the book and page-turning pen with one hand; D, put your hands gently on the edge of the lecture table. In addition, gestures should be coordinated with the whole body, language and feelings. The speaker's gestures are never carried out alone, and they are always carried out in close coordination with voice, posture and expression. The speech is mainly about speaking, supplemented by acting. A speech without action can only be a speech, but the action must be coordinated with the speaker's posture to be beautiful. Of course, the speaker is also required to make every gesture simple, concise, clear, neat and beautiful. As far as gender is concerned, male gestures are generally strong and extroverted. However, women's gestures are mainly soft and delicate, and their palms move inward more.

Third, the use of eyes when speaking:

There are many ways, but in any case, eyes should be combined with audio language, movements and expressions, and you should communicate with the audience under the stage. The purpose of the speech is to keep in touch with the audience through the eyes. Three ways of eye contact: virtual vision, gaze and look around.

Pseudo-vision: looking directly at the audience in a certain area; But I didn't really look at someone. This should be the most used in speeches. The line of sight of the speech is under the stage, which is more suitable for the audience.

Gaze: It means to look at someone clearly and make eye contact. Generally, the time is about 3 seconds, and try not to exceed 5 seconds. Choose one person as the focus, and then slowly shift your eyes from one person to another. Look directly at the audience, or look at their noses or chins. Find those listeners who look friendly and smile at them one by one; Use this method to express appreciation and gratitude to the dedicated and enthusiastic audience.

Look around: look around, look back and forth, and take care of the whole venue. At the beginning of the speech, don't speak in a hurry, but pause and look around with a smile. In this way, the audience can feel close to each other. But we must pay attention to the overall situation and not ignore the audience in any corner; At the same time, the head can't swing too much and the eyes can't turn.

Etiquette after speech and after stepping down:

At the end of the speech, you should smile and say: Thank you? After bowing to the audience, he calmly returned to his original seat. When you step down, don't be in a hurry, show shyness and depression, and don't pretend to be arrogant and indifferent. After sitting down, if the chairman of the conference and the audience thank the speaker with applause, they should immediately stand up, face the audience and nod their thanks.

What are the taboos?

1 Avoid dialect slang in speech

According to the needs of content, different audiences should use different language forms. However, it should be noted that due to China's vast territory and numerous dialects, there is still a problem of changing the hometown accent and promoting Putonghua in order to make the speech easy to understand, understand and communicate smoothly, otherwise there will be language barriers.

Because the degree of standardization and standardization of a country's language often reflects the degree of civilization of this country. Try to use less or no dialect in your speech, so as not to be out of place? Soil facies? .

2 Avoid mystification in the speech.

Tolstoy said: Real art is always very simple, clear and picturesque, and can almost be touched by hands. ?

The speech should be popular and colloquial. If you don't consider the audience's acceptance, that language is neither friendly nor easy to understand, and it will often backfire and become a joke.

With the changes of the times, people's language habits have also changed greatly. Many ancient characters have been eliminated and abandoned. Like describing people's faces? Face like a crown jade? 、? A little lip? Wait, no one will use it anymore. The emperor claimed to be? Me? 、? Me? Call someone else? Ai Qing? , what else? Your father? 、? Your mother? 、? Sex? Such a title, if used again now, will be out of date.

The time when speeches were written in classical Chinese is long gone. Some people use classical Chinese to show off their knowledge in their speeches, so they are elegant. There is no market for such people who confuse people with obscure words: because using obscure words will make people worry about guessing and will inevitably affect the listening effect. And the cultural literacy of the audience is very different, right? Is it low or high? .

So speak clearly and easily to the masses. What kind of use? Please take the liberty of being angry? Is it an excuse to say that? Elegant? The audience may not like it.

Rodin, a great French sculptor, said: Draw some patterns with a pencil, draw some gorgeous fireworks with colors, or write some brilliant sentences with strange words. These short writers are the most skilled people in the world. However, the greatest difficulty and highest position in art is to describe and write naturally and mutually. ? This sentence is also fully applicable to the use of language in speeches.

3 Avoid gaffes and gaffes in speeches

Some speakers always bring? A spell? Like what? Huh? 、? Right? 、? How's it going? 、? So what? Wait a minute.

The speech should be about practicality. A spell? Pile? UH huh? It makes people uncomfortable after listening to it and can only play a negative role.

Some people do not understand the position and level of the audience, pay no attention to the environment and background of the meeting, or even ignore their status and position at the meeting, which will inevitably lead to inappropriate, inappropriate, impolite and inappropriate situations in terms of content, wording, tone and so on, which must be paid attention to.

Avoid difficult and lengthy speeches.

Some people speak in written language, which makes people feel difficult to understand. Mao Zedong once criticized this phenomenon, saying? A speech, over and over again, always those nouns, a set? Student accent? Without any lively language, isn't it tasteless, disgusting and like a beggar?

So try to avoid using written language, what's more? The text is white? We should use spoken English, be good at speaking in simple and clear language, and resolutely abandon obscure words. The article is short, and the speech is short.
